02-16-19 | Penn State v. Purdue -13 | 64-76 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 7 m | Show | |
Ricky's 8* play on Purdue. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. This often becomes my “key angle” for a game. Penn State comes in complacent in my opinion after its big 75-69 home upset win over Michigan on Tuesday. The Boilermakers on the other hand come in completely focused on the task at hand after a 70-56 road loss to Maryland. The home side won’t be taking anything for granted here either, as it would need OT to post the 99-90 victory over the Nittany Lions on the road on January 31st. Key Trends: - Penn State is just 3-6 ATS this year trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. - Purdue is 8-2 ATS in its last ten as a home favorite in the 12.5 to 18 points range. - The Boilermakers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine off an upset loss as a favorite. The verdict: This one has blowout written all over it. Lay the points! |

02-16-19 | Texas State v. Arkansas-Little Rock +2 | 67-60 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 6 m | Show | |
Ricky's 9* play on Arkansas Little Rock. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Revenge. The Bobcats come in complacent here after their 84-74 win on the road over Arkansas State State. The Arkansas Little Rock Trojans look to build off their 56-52 home win over UT Arlington in their previous action and they’re also playing with revenge here after they fell 8-62 at Texas State last month. Key Trends: - Texas State is just 1-2 ATS in its last three off a road win by ten points or more. - Texas State is just 5-15 ATS in its last 20 after successfully covering the spread in two or more consecutive outings. - Arkansas Little Rock is 5-2 ATS in its last seven revenging a road loss vs. an opponent. The verdict: Revenge is a dish best served cold! Grab the points! |
|||||||
02-15-19 | Troy State +11 v. Georgia Southern | Top | 51-76 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 30 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Troy. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Money in the bank for bettors. Troy is 16-3 ATS in its last 19 off a loss vs. a conference rival. This massively lop-sided “trend” becomes my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - The Trojans are 6-3 ATS in their last nine revenging a home loss vs. an opponent. - The Eagles 11-6 ATS in their last 17 after a win by ten points or more. The verdict: No outright, but closer than expected. Grab all those points! |
|||||||
02-15-19 | Oilers +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 1-3 | Loss | -170 | 26 h 39 m | Show | |
Ricky's 8* play on the Oilers on the PUCK-LINE. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Desperation time. The Oilers have dropped eight of nine after a 3-1 loss at Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The Hurricanes get caught looking past their lowly non conference opponent after winning seven of ten. Key Trends: - Edmonton is 10-6 (+6.1 units) in revenging a home loss vs. an opponent. - Carolina is already only 3-5 (-5 units) when playing with two days rest. - The Hurricanes are 3-4 (-3.6 units) their last seven after playing three straight road games. The verdict: Expect the “hungrier” team to keep this one competitive. Lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance! |
|||||||
02-14-19 | Capitals v. Sharks -157 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -157 | 29 h 28 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the San Jose Sharks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Road woes. The Capitals went into the All Star break on a seven-game losing streak, but they’ve come out and gone 4-1-1. But Washington is still 0-4 in its last four on the road. The Sharks on the other hand are 40-19 in their last 59 home games. Key Trends: - The Capitals are just 1-7 in their last eight vs. clubs with winning records. - The Sharks are 7-2 in their last nine vs. the Eastern Conference. The verdict: Expect these strong home/road trends to carry over for each side. As Bob Barker would say, the price is right! |

02-14-19 | Houston v. Connecticut +8 | Top | 71-63 | Push | 0 | 26 h 54 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on UConn. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. If you’ve followed me for any length of time then you know that this often becomes my “key angle” for a contest. But after starting the year 23-1 and coming on off eight straight victories (including a dominating one over No. 25 Cincinnati last time out), I do indeed feel that the Cougars will come in a tiny bit “content” here. The Huskies though clearly don’t have that luxury at 13-11 and fresh off two back-to-back setbacks to Memphis and Temple. Key Trends: - Houston is just 6-9 ATS in its last 15 after covering four out of its last five vs. the spread. - UConn is already 10-4 ATS at home this season. - The Huskies are 7-3 ATS in their last ten vs. the conference. The verdict: No outright upset, but expect this one to go right down to the wire. So grab the points! |

02-13-19 | 76ers v. Knicks +9.5 | Top | 126-111 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the New York Knicks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Fatigue. The 76ers hammered the Lakers, but they’d then fall 112-109 at home to the Celtics just last night. With the visitors expected to rest starters and after that exhausting defeat, I believe “fatigue” is a very real factor working against the 76ers today and it becomes my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - Philadelphia is just 11-16 ATS on the road. - The 76ers are a terrible 2-6 ATS this season when playing on back-to-back days. - The Knicks are 11-6 ATS in their last 17 trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. The verdict: New York may not win this game, but I expect a battle until the end. Grab the points! |
|||||||
02-13-19 | Rutgers +5.5 v. Northwestern | Top | 59-56 | Win | 100 | 24 h 22 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Rutgers. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Momentum. Neither team has any of it. Rutgers has lost three straight, while Northwestern has lost four straight. But the Scarlet Knights came very close in last Saturday’s 99-94 OT loss at Illinois. The Wildcats are definitely moving in the other direction though, as evidenced by their 80-79 collapse to Iowa last time out (also note that Rutgers plays with revenge after falling 65-57 at home to Northwestern on January 18th.) Key Trends: - Northwestern is just 1-3-1 ATS in its last five following an ATS win. - The Knights are 7-2 ATS in their last nine trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which they scored 58 points or less in. The verdict: Revenge is a dish best served cold. That said, grab the points! |
|||||||
02-13-19 | St. Louis v. George Washington +4 | 73-58 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 53 m | Show | |
Ricky's 8* play on George Washington. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. St. Louis is 15-9 and George Washington is 7-16 so far. Both teams come in off poor losses, but after losing both games in this series last year, I think the Colonials come in as the “hungrier” and more focused side. Key Trends: - The Billikens are only 3-5 SU on the road this year. - Saint Louis is just 5-12 ATS as a favorite this season. - George Washington is 9-5 ATS in its last 14 as an underdog. - The Colonials are already 2-0 ATS this year off a road loss vs. a conference rival. The verdict: In a tighter than expected battle, I’m grabbing the points! |
|||||||
02-12-19 | San Diego State v. Colorado State +2 | Top | 71-60 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 3 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Colorado State. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. This is often my “key angle,” for a contest and for this one it certainly sets up well. SDSU comes in complacent after winning four of its last five. The home side has admittedly struggled this year, but it comes in as the “hungrier” team after losing two in a row and five of its last seven. Key Trends: - SDSU is just 2-5 ATS on the road this year. - The Aztecs are only 1-4 ATS in their last five after a win by six points or less. - Colorado State is 4-1 ATS in its last five as a home underdog of six points or less or pick. The verdict: As stated off the top, I think SDSU gets caught looking past its opponent and I expect the “hungrier” team to find a way in the end. Grab the points! |
|||||||
02-12-19 | Celtics +5.5 v. 76ers | Top | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 25 h 18 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Boston Celtics. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Recent history. Boston is 35-21 this year, while Philadelphia is 36-20. The 76ers have admittedly been playing better than the Celtics have of late. Philadelphia comes in off a big 143-120 win over the Lakers, while Boston comes in off a poor 123-112 home loss to the Clippers. The Celtics won’t be going down without a fight today, they’ve won 16 of the last 18 in this series and both so far this year as well. The 76ers have the revenge factor and while they may take it in the end, everything points to this one coming “right down to the wire” in my opinion. Key Trends: - Boston is already 10-4 ATS this season after failing to cover three of its last four vs. the spread. - The 76ers are only 2-6 ATS this year after covering four or five their last six vs. the spread. The verdict: This one has all out “battle” written all over it. Grab the points! |
|||||||
02-12-19 | Flames v. Lightning -145 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Lightning. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home ice advantage. It would not be difficult to write a convincing argument for the Flames to win this game, but I don’t foresee a letdown here from the Bolts at home. These are two of the top teams in their respective conferences and I look for the home side to come in focused (The Lightning are 21-7 at home, averaging 4.25 goals and allowing 2.63.) Key Trends: - Tampa Bay is 21-6 in its last 27 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. - The Lightning are 38-13 in their last 51 when playing on one days rest. - The Flames are just 3-11 in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage above .600. The verdict: All things considered, a very reasonable price in my professional opinion. Play on Tampa! |
|||||||
02-11-19 | Virginia v. North Carolina | Top | 69-61 | Win | 100 | 24 h 24 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Virginia. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Key Trends: Analysis posted shortly. |
|||||||
02-10-19 | Magic v. Hawks UNDER 224 | Top | 124-108 | Loss | -107 | 24 h 10 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the under Magic/Hawks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Fatigue. Both teams were in action just last night. The Hawks were smashed 129-120 at home by Charlotte, while Orlando enters off an upset 103-83 win in Milwaukee. I believe “fatigue” is a major factor that both teams will struggle with tonight and I expect that to lead to a lower-scoring defensive affair in the end. Key Trends: - The Magic have seen the total go under in ten of 16 as a favorite this year. - Orlando has seen the total go under in 14 of 25 after playing a road game. - Atlanta has seen the total go under in four of five already this year when playing on back-to-back days. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, play the under! |
|||||||
02-10-19 | Cincinnati +5 v. Houston | Top | 58-65 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 33 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Cincinnati. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - First place up for grabs. Houston is ranked No. 12 in the country, while Cincinnati is ranked 25th. These teams though are tied for No. 1 in the AAC, making this the biggest game of the year as far as the conference is concerned. With No. 1 up for grabs, I’m expecting the visitors to fight until the final horn. Key Trends: - Cincinnati is 11-5 ATS in its last 16 off a road win vs. a conference rival. - Houston is only 5-12 ATS in its last 17 off a road victory. The verdict: In a contest which I envision coming down to whichever of these hungry sides has its hands on the ball last, I’m grabbing the points! |
|||||||
02-10-19 | Hurricanes -133 v. Devils | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -133 | 20 h 38 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Carolina Hurricanes. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Momentum. At times I think momentum can be a very real, almost “tangible” factor. And that’s the case here, as Carolina comes in having won five of its last six, while New Jersey has lost five straight at home. Key Trends: - The Devils are a putrid 15-38 in their last 53 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. - The Hurricanes are 7-0 in their last seven in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. The verdict: This one has blowout written all over it, lay the very reasonable price! |
|||||||
02-09-19 | Thunder v. Rockets -1.5 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 12 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Houston Rockets. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home floor advantage. Yes the Rockets are still without Clint Capella and Chris Paul is working through his injury, but I think that James Harden will defend home court today. This is a huge game for the Rockets, who can keep pace with the Blazers in the West, while also closing the gap with the Thunder at the same time. Key Trends: - OKC is just 13-14 ATS in its last 27 ager scoring 105 points or more in five straight games. - The Rockets are 7-4 ATS this year as a home fav of six points or less. - Houston is 3-1 ATS in its last four off a road win by ten points or more. The verdict: As stated off the top, I think home floor is the difference in this one between these two hungry West Conf heavyweights. Lay the points! |
|||||||
02-09-19 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +110 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 40 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Montreal Canadiens. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Clearly with a line like this, the oddsmakers believe that these teams are very evenly matched. So where’s the advantage? I say it’s the clear revenge factor that Montreal plays with today after falling 3-2 in OT in Toronto earlier in the season. Key Trends: - Toronto is just 8-9 (-7.2 units) vs. the division this year still. - Montreal is interestingly 8-3 (+4.8 units) after playing three consecutive home games. The verdict: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Great value, play on the Canadiens! |
|||||||
02-09-19 | Utah v. UCLA -4 | Top | 93-92 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 36 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on UCLA. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. This is often a “key angle” for me. I think Utah comes in complacent and I believe UCLA enters focused. The Utes are off a highly satisfying 77-70 road win over USC on Wednesday, while UCLA fell 84-73 at home to Colorado on Wednesday. The Utes won the last game between the teams 84-78 at home last February 22nd, making this a “revenge” game as well for the hungry Bruins. Key Trends: - Utah is a poor 5-10 ATS this year vs. teams with winning records. - UCLA is already 2-0 ATS this season off an upset loss by ten points or more as a favorite. The verdict: The stage is set for a lop-sided blowout. Lay the short points! |
|||||||
02-08-19 | Knicks +8.5 v. Pistons | Top | 103-120 | Loss | -107 | 23 h 21 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the New York Knicks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Immediate revenge for the Knicks as this is the second game of a home and home set between the clubs. Detroit has won five straight in this series, including the first two this year, including the 105-92 victory in the Big Apple on Tuesday. Key Trends: - New York is 20-12 ATS in its last 32 trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. - Detroit is just 11-16 ATS at home - The Pistons are only 11-12 ATS this year vs. teams with losing records. The verdict: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Probably no outright, but closer than expected. Grab all those points! |
|||||||
02-08-19 | Columbia +11.5 v. Harvard | Top | 96-98 | Win | 100 | 23 h 16 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Columbia. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. I won’t try to convince you that Columbia is a good team which has just had some bad breaks this year, as that’s not the case. The Lions aren’t great, but they won’t be lacking for motivation today as they look to break a two-game slide. But after four straight wins, I think that the Crimson come out a tiny bit complacent here and get caught “looking past” their lowly opponent. Key Trends: - Columbia is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a road dog in the 9.5 to 12 points range. - The Crimson are just 4-6 ATS as a favorite this year. - Harvard is just 2-3 ATS off a home win this season. The verdict: Expect the hungry Lions to battle tough and keep this one close down the stretch. Grab the points! |
|||||||
02-07-19 | Appalachian State +8 v. Texas State | Top | 71-74 | Win | 100 | 26 h 14 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on App State. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - An offense to match. App State is hungry here and it comes in playing its best basketball of the year with three straight wins. The Mountaineers can keep pace with the Bobcats tonight. App State averages 81.7 points, while Texas State averages 75.3. The Bobcats are better defensively, but I think the momentum in which App State comes in with is the difference maker tonight. No outright, but closer than expected. Key Trends: - App State is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 as an underdog. - App State is 4-1 ATS in its last five after allowing 75 points or more in two straight games. - Texas State is a poor 8-10 ATS in its last 18 vs. good offensive teams which score 77-plus points per contest. The verdict: The outright is possible, but in the end I’m grabbing all these points! |
|||||||
02-07-19 | Jets -117 v. Canadiens | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -117 | 26 h 48 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Winnipeg Jets. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Consistently poor in this spot. The Habs have won seven of their last nine, but note that they’re a terrible 2-6 in their last eight home games vs. teams with winning road records. Key Trends: - Montreal is only 8-20 in its last 20 vs. teams with winning percentages above .600. - Winnipeg is 27-10 in its last 37 vs. the Eastern Conference. The verdict: The Habs have been beating up on the “lesser” competition, but they’ve been terrible against the best in the league. As Bob Barker would say: The Price Is Right here! Play on Winnipeg. |
|||||||
02-07-19 | Wolves v. Magic -1.5 | Top | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Orlando Magic. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. The Magic have lost four of the last five in this series, including the first matchup this year 120-103 on the road back on January 4th. This is my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - The Wolves are just 7-10 ATS in their last 17 following a road loss. - Minnesota is a poor 19-24 ATS in its last 43 off an upset loss as a favorite. - Orlando is 9-5 ATS in its last 14 trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent. The verdict: Home floor turns out to be the difference here between these hungry teams. Lay the points! |

02-06-19 | Georgia +9 v. Alabama | Top | 74-89 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 49 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Georgia. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - On the cusp. Georgia that is. Alabama is currently in a six-way tie for fifth in the SEC standings, but the Bulldogs are in the basement after starting 1-7 in league play. Georgia though looked a lot better in a losing cause to South Carolina last time out, falling 86-80 and having five players scoring in double figures. No outright, but this one looks to be much more competitive than what this spread would suggest. Key Trends: - Georgia is 17-10 ATS in its last 27 as a road dog or pick. - The Bulldogs are 8-2 ATS in their last ten after falling to cover four or five of their last six vs. the spread. - Alabama is already a poor 0-3 ATS this season as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points. The verdict: No outright, but a “nail biter!” Grab all these points! |

02-06-19 | Oklahoma State +9 v. TCU | 68-70 | Win | 100 | 28 h 48 m | Show | |
Ricky's 8* play on Oklahoma State. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Money in the bank. While this is in fact a “trend,” it’s also my “key angle” for this contest. And that’s because despite having started so horribly this season, OKS has been fantastic in this spot for bettors by going 8-1 ATS in its last nine off a loss by ten points or more to a conference rival. Key Trends: - The Cowboys are 7-4 ATS in their last 11 after playing a game as home underdog. - TCU is just 3-5 vs. conference opponents this year. - The Horned Frogs are just 4-5 ATS in their last nine off a loss by ten points or more to a conference rival. The verdict: These teams are struggling in conference play, but they won’t be lacking for motivation. I’m expecting an all out battle until the final horn, so grab up all those points! |

02-06-19 | Wizards +12 v. Bucks | Top | 129-148 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 5 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Wizards. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For the Bucks that is. I think Milwaukee gets caught looking past its lowly opponent today after winning four straight and ten of its last 11. Note that the Bucks have been terrible in this position for bettors as well by going only 3-7 ATS in their last ten after two or more consecutive road victories. Key Trends: - Washington is still 10-5 ATS in its last 15 trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which it scored 110 points or more. - Milwaukee is just 21-25 ATS in its last 46 after covering four or five of its last six vs. the spread. The verdict: The Wizards are without Wall, but they won’t be lacking for motivation. With Milwaukee likely going to rest some starters in this one, I’m banking on this one being a lot closer than what this spread would suggest. Grab all those points! |

02-05-19 | Blackhawks v. Oilers -125 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -125 | 28 h 10 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Oilers. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Recent history. The Oilers are desperate for a win here. Edmonton let a late lead slip away in Montreal in its latest action. The Hawks have won four straight, but after their 4-3 OT road win in Minnesota, everything looks like a classic “letdown” spot for the visitors here. Additionally note that the Oilers have already taken both earlier meetings between the clubs this year. Key Trends: - Edmonton is 7-2 in its last nine home games following a non-conference road OT loss. - Chicago is just 1-6 in its last seven road games vs. a team with a losing home record. The verdict: As Bob Barker would say: “The price is right!” Play on the Oilers. |

02-05-19 | Magic +10 v. Thunder | Top | 122-132 | Push | 0 | 27 h 12 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Orlando Magic. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. The Thunder had their big win streak snapped in a 134-129 road loss in Boston in their last game and they now face a Magic side which comes in off a big 102-89 home win over the Nets and which plays with revenge after falling 126-117 on the road in the first matchup between the teams on January 29th. Key Trends: - Orlando is 13-10 ATS on the road this year. - The Magic are 8-5 ATS this season in revenging a loss vs. an opponent. - The Thunder are only 3-7 ATS this season as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. The verdict: No outright, but a war until the end. Grab the points! |

02-05-19 | Michigan v. Rutgers +10.5 | Top | 77-65 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 6 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Rutgers. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. Rutgers comes in after having its three-game win streak snapped by Ohio State on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights are now 11-10 overall. But I think this sets up as “letdown spot” for the 20-2 visitors, who suffered just their second outright loss of the year in a poor 74-59 setback to Iowa on Friday. Key Trends: - Rutgers is 4-1 ATS in its last five home games vs. teams with a winning road record. - Michigan is only 2-5 ATS in its last seven following an ATS loss. The verdict: Since joining the Big 10 Rutgers is 0-6 SU in this matchup and while that likely winless record likely won’t change today, I think that the stage is set for a battle until the end. Grab all those points! |

02-04-19 | Rockets v. Suns +8.5 | Top | 118-110 | Win | 100 | 29 h 57 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Suns. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. The Rockets broke a two-game slide with a win over the Jazz on Saturday, but the Suns come in having lost ten straight. Clearly Phoenix is now looking to cash out in the lottery, but I think it comes in motivated enough here to at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. Key Trends: - Houston is a horrible 9-14 ATS in its last 23 as a road favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - The Rockets are just 2-4 ATS in their last six off an upset win of ten points or more as a road underdog. - The Suns are still 5-2 ATS in their last seven as a home underdog in the 6.5 to 12 points range. The verdict: I think the visitors get caught looking past their lowly opponent. Grab the points! |

02-04-19 | Montana State +8 v. Northern Colorado | Top | 69-66 | Win | 100 | 29 h 51 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Montana State. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. I think this plays a major role in the outcome of this game. Outright upset? Clearly it’s not completely out of the question, but I think that the “hungrier” team will at the very least take this one “right down to the wire.” The Bobcats have lost four of five, while Northern Colorado has won three in a row. I won’t try to convince you that Montana State is a great team which has just been unlucky to this point, as that’s not the case. I do think that it’s the much “hungrier” team today though and I look for that fact to be the difference maker. Key Trends: - Montana State is 7-2 ATS already vs. conference opponents this year. - Montana State is 3-1 ATS this season off a loss vs. a conference rival. - Northern Colorado is just 2-3 ATS at home this year. - Northern Colorado is only 1-3 ATS this season after allowing 60 points or less in its previous outing. The verdict: As stated off the top, I wouldn’t be completely shocked by the outright, but in the end I’m grabbing up all these points! |

02-04-19 | Ducks v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 120 | 27 h 56 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Leafs on the puck line. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - No offense. The Ducks are struggling and they come in having lost three straight, getting outscored 17-4 in the process. Toronto averages 3.26 goals and allows 2.74 at home this year. Suffice it to say, I’m expecting a blowout of epic proportions here. Key Trends: - Anaheim is just 3-13 (-13 units) this season after three or more consecutive losses. - Toronto is 30-17 (+5 units) in its last 47 vs. teams with losing records. The verdict: Lay the 1.5 goals for the healthy return! |

02-03-19 | Patriots v. Rams UNDER 58 | Top | 13-3 | Win | 100 | 324 h 18 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the “under” in the Super Bowl. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Underrated defensive units. With so much offensive fire-power, it’s easy to forget how well each team played defensively down the stretch in the playoffs. The Pats enter off a 37-31 win over KC, holding Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes to just 16 of 31 and sacking him four times. The Rams were forced by the Saints for 45 points in the first meeting between the clubs, but last week LA looked great defensively in its eventual 26-23 OT victory. Key Trends: - New England has seen the total go under the number in 11 of 17 as a favorite this year. - LA has seen the total go under the number in three of its last four off an upset win as a road dog. The verdict: Look for the two week lay off to benefit the defensive units and play the under in the Super Bowl! |

02-03-19 | Stanford v. California +5.5 | Top | 84-81 | Win | 100 | 22 h 51 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Cal. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Desperation. These are two crummy teams. Stanford has been alternating wins and losses of late (3-5 in conference play), but it looks poised for a predictable letdown here after scoring a win at home over Colorado last time out. The Bears though are 0-7 in league play and while they may not win this one outright, I think the “hungrier” team will at the very least, keep this one competitive until the final moments. Key Trends: - Stanford is just 13-14 ATS in its last 27 on the road. - The Cardinal are only 1-4 ATS in their last five when playing with seven or more days of rest. - Cal is 3-1 ATS in its last four when playing with seven or more days of rest. The verdict: I’m expecting a battle until the end between these horrible teams! |

02-03-19 | Clippers v. Raptors -10 | Top | 103-121 | Win | 100 | 21 h 57 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Toronto Raptors. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Fatigue. For the Clippers that is. LA played from behind most of the game in Detroit last night, but it would rally for the victory in the end. I think the Clippers come in “dog tired” here in the second game of the back to back scenario. The Raptors on the other hand are out to atone for a poor 105-92 loss at home to the Bucks on Thursday. Toronto easily handled the Clippers 123-99 on the road earlier in the season and I think the conditions are correct for another blowout in this one. Key Trends: - LA is just 7-9 ATS as a road underdog this season. - Toronto is a perfect 6-0 ATS this year after falling to cover the spread in three or more consecutive games. The verdict: Everything points to a blowout. Lay the points! |

02-03-19 | Flames v. Hurricanes +101 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 55 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Carolina Hurricanes. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For Calgary in my opinion. The Flames have been fantastic overall this year, especially on the road. They do however come in off a 4-3 loss in the nation’s capital and I think they’ll have a letdown here as well in this difficult road venue. The Hurricanes are no slouches, they’ve won three of their last four including a 5-2 home victory over Vegas most recently. Overall Carolina is 14-12 at home, averaging 3.00 GPG and allowing 2.69 in those contests. Key Trends: - Carolina is 9-4 (+3.2 units) over the second half of the season. - Calgary is just 2-5 in its last seven road games after allowing four goals or more in a loss in its previous outing. The verdict. Home ice is the difference maker! |

Ricky's 10* play on the LA Lakers. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For Golden State in my opinion. Sure LBJ is coming to town, but after having their 11 game win streak snapped at home by the 76ers, I think the Warriors are susceptible for a letdown here as well. Outright upset? Probably not, but I’m expecting a war until the final moments. Key Trends: - LA is 4-1 ATS in its last five as a road dog in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - The Lakers are 8-2 ATS vs. the division this season. - The Warriors are already just 4-12 ATS this year as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. The verdict: Grab the points and expect a battle until the end! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Scheduling. This is the second game of the back to back for both teams. The Predators rallied for a win in Florida last night and clearly the home ice advantage can’t be overlooked in this situation. This becomes my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - The Stars are still only 11-24 in their last 25 on the road. - Dallas is a poor 27-62 in its last 89 in the second game of a back to back. - The Predators are 11-5 in their last 16 in the second game of a back to back. The verdict: All things considered, this line could be a lot larger in my professional opinion. Lay the price with confidence! |

02-02-19 | Delaware v. William & Mary -5.5 | Top | 63-84 | Win | 100 | 23 h 9 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play William & Mary. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Delaware won the first meeting of the season 58-56 at home on January 3rd. The Blue Hens look poised for a letdown here after their tough 57-56 loss to Elon last time out. Conversely the Tribe broke a five-game losing streak last time out with a 75-69 win over Drexel. I think this one sets up beautifully for the home side. Key Trends: - Delaware is already only 1-2 ATS this year off an upset loss as a favorite. - William & Mary is 15-8 ATS in its last 23 when laying on one or less days rest. - The Tribe is 7-1 ATS in its last eight revenging a SU loss vs. an opponent as a favorite. The verdict: Lay the points and expect a blowout! |

Ricky's 10* play on the Denver Nuggets. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. The Rockets have somehow managed to take both games over the Nuggets this year. Houston had Clint Capella in the line-up for each of those contests though and now that Rockets’ big man is out/injured. So are several others for the visitors. The home side comes in healthy and in top form having won four straight. The Nugget have also been at the best at home this season. This one has blowout written all over it my professional opinion. Key Trends: - Houston is just 14-22 ATS in its last 36 when playing with two days rest. - The Rockets are a terrible 2-7 ATS this season after allowing 120 points or more in their previous outing. - Denver is 11-5 ATS already this season revenging a loss where an opponent scored 110 points or more. The verdict: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Lay the points! |

02-01-19 | Lightning v. Islanders +125 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the New York Islanders. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home ice advantage. Granted the Lightning are the better team. There’s no debating that they’d be the favorite in a seven game series. New York though has been very good at home this season, going 14-10, averaging 3.04 goals and allowing 2.33. Both teams come in off losses, but I think the Isles offer great value to bounce back in front of the home town crowd. Key Trends: - Tampa Bay is just 2-3 (-2.3 units) in its last five vs. teams with winning records. - The Isles are 8-3 (+4.8 units) in their last 11 overall. The verdict: As Bob Barker would say, the price is right! Play on the Isles. |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Failing defense. The Hawkeyes have now lost back-to-back conference games thanks in part to a failing defensively. Overall Iowa has limited opponents to 100.7 points per 100 possessions this year, but that number has jumped to 111.8 during conference play. And that’s bad news facing a red hot Michigan team which has won three straight and which is 9-1 overall in Big Ten action. The Wolverines’ offend is one of the best in the nation as well averaging 112.8 points per 100 possessions. Key Trends: - Michigan is 10-5 ATS this year after a win by ten points or more. - The Wolverines are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 vs. teams with winning records. - Iowa is just 11-15 ATS in its last 26 following a loss vs. a conference rival. The verdict: This one has blowout written all over it. Lay the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Visitors game-plan. With big man Joel Embiid a question mark here, the last thing Philadelphia can do is turn this one into a “track meet” and expect to hang with the defending champs, who have won 11 straight. I believe the visitors try to control the pace of this one and this becomes my “key angle” to this contest. Key Trends: - The 76ers have seen the total go under the number in six of their last eight when the total in the contest is greater than or equal to 230. - The Warriors have seen the total dip below the posted number in 12 of their last 18 home games when the total is greater than or equal to 220. The verdict: This can still be a high scoring game and fall below this sky high number. Play the under! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Momentum. The Herd have zero of it right now. Marshall has lost three straight and I think it’ll struggle with consistency here as well. UTEP on the other hand broke a three-game slide of its own vs. Charlotte last Saturday and while I’m not in fact calling for the outright upset, I think the Miners build off their latest effort with another solid performance on the road here against this floundering Marshall side. Key Trends: - UTEP is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 off a home win vs. a conference rival. - Marshall is just 3-5 ATS at home already this season. - The Herd are a horrible 2-6 ATS vs. the conference. The verdict: Grab the points and expect a battle until the end! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot for New Jersey. Granted the Devils are the better team playing at home, but New York is worth the price for the extra goal-and-a-half in my opinion. The Devils looked primed for a letdown here after their very satisfying 6-3 road win in Pittsburgh in their first game back from the break. The Rangers on the other hand look primed to bounce back after a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia in their most recent action. Key Trends: - New York is 8-6 (+4.3 units) this year following a divisional game. - New Jersey is just 5-8 (-4.8 units) this season after a win by two goals or more. The verdict: In a contest which I see coming down to the final moments or even in extra time, I’m laying the price for the insurance! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For Atlanta that is. The Hawks come in off a road win over the Clippers and I believe they’ll suffer an immediate letdown here (note that the Clippers were playing without Lou Williams and big man Boban Marjanovic.) Key Trends: - Sacramento is 5-1 ATS in its last six vs. teams with losing SU records. - The Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last five following an ATS loss. - Sacramento is 14-5 ATS in its last 91 after a loss of more than ten or more points. - The Hawks are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven after a SU win. The verdict: Lay the points, expect a rout! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - LSU running out of gas. I do indeed feel that the Tigers come out a bit flat here. And would anyone blame them if they had a bit of a letdown here? LSU has roared out to a perfect records in the SEC over its first six games. However note that it’s been anything but easy it’s gone to OT twice and earned four quality wins as well. The Aggies won’t be going down without a fight and they come in with plenty of momentum themselves after downing K-State 65-53 in their most recent action. Key Trends: - LSU is still just 7-8 ATS as a favorite this year. - Texas A&M is already 6-3 ATS as an underdog this season. The verdict: The stage is set for the upset. That said, grab the ample points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Kentucky has won five straight in the series, including a 56-47 home win in the first meeting this year on January 12th. Key Trends: - Kentucky is just 6-7 ATS this year after a non-conference game. - The Wildcats are 5-8 ATS in their last 13 after two consecutive covers as a favorite. - Vanderbilt is 5-1 AT in its last six in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent.

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Fatigue. For the Flyers that is. Philadelphia comes in off a very satisfying 3-1 home win over the Jets just last night and I think it’ll suffer a predictable letdown here. Key Trends: - The Flyers are just 1-4 in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. - New York is 5-1 in its last six home vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The verdict: New York is 20-8 at home the last 28 in this series. Great value, as Bob Barker would say: “The price is right!” |

Ricky's 10* play on the Orlando Magic. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For the Thunder in my opinion. OKC has been one of the hottest teams in the league and it comes in having won five straight, including a big 118-112 home win over the Bucks on Sunday. The Magic on the other hand can’t take anything for granted as they’ll be looking to bounce back from a 103-98 loss in Houston. Key Trends: - OKC is just 8-9 ATS as a road favorite this year. - Orlando is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 as a home underdog. The verdict: Expect this one to be a lot closer than what this spread would suggest and grab up all those points! |

Ricky's 10* play on the Boston Celtics. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. The Celtics come in off an encouraging loss to the white hot defending champs, but I think it’s the Nets who are doomed for a “letdown” here after six straight wins. They eked out a victory over the Knicks at home last time out, but the injury to Dinwiddie will prove to be significant over the long-term. I think Boston lays the hammer down vs. this over-achieving and now under-manned Nets team. Key Trends: - Boston is 6-2 ATS in its last eight following a loss. - The C’s are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 at home. - Brooklyn is still just 1-4 ATS in its last five road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage above .600. The verdict: I’m laying the points and expecting a blowout of epic proportions! |

Ricky's 10* play on the Winnipeg Jets. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Road warriors. Despite going into the break with a road loss, the Jets are still 13-9 away from friendly confines this year, averaging 3.05 goals and conceding 2.91 in those contests (note that Philly is just 10-13 at home, averaging 2.83 goals and allowing 3.26.) Key Trends: - The Flyers are just 3-13 in their last 16 after scoring five or more goals in their previous contest. - The Jets are a “lights out” 25-9 in their last 34 vs. Eastern conference opponents. The verdict: I think Winnipeg finds a way to get the job done here. As Bob Barker used to say, “The price is right!” |

Ricky's 10* play on Notre Dame. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. Would anyone fault the Blue Devils in some small way “looking past” their lowly opponent tonight? ND will be desperate though to bounce back here after a humbling 82-55 loss at home to Virginia last time out to fall to 1-6 in ACC play. I think the “hungrier” team keeps this one “interesting” down the stretch. Key Trends: - Duke is still just 11-12 ATS in its last 23 on the road. - The Blue Devils are already only 1-3 ATS this year when playing on one or less days rest. - ND is 6-2 ATS in its last eight vs. good offensive teams which average 77 plus points per night. The verdict: Look for the No. 2 team to come in a bit complacent and grab up all these points! |

Ricky's 10* play on the Thunder. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home floor advantage. With a spread like this, clearly the bookmakers in Sin City would agree that these teams are very evenly matched. Milwaukee though is just 10-9-2 ATS on the road this year, while OKC is 12-6 ATS in its last 18 at home. Key Trends: - Milwaukee is just 7-14 ATS in its last 21 off a home no cover where the team won straight up as a favorite. - The Bucks are only 9-10 ATS in their last 19 after two or more straight home victories. - The Thunder are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 when playing with two days rest. The verdict: I think the Bucks finally stumble in this hostile arena. Play on the Thunder! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Momentum. For the Salukis that is. Southern Illinois snapped a four-game conference losing streak with a 70-62 win over Northern Iowa and I think it carries that momentum over here. Loyola Chicago is on top of the conference and I think it gets caught looking past its lowly opponent tonight. Key Trends: - The Salukis are already 7-1 ATS not he road this year. - Southern Illinois is 4-1 ATS this season as an underdog. - Loyola Chicago is just 4-5 ATS this season as a home favorite or pick. The verdict: Grab the points and expect a “nail biter!” |

Ricky's 10* play on the Philadelphia 76ers. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Scheduling. The 76ers are without big man Embiid and Jimmy Butler is a question mark going in, but I think the value lies with the “under the radar” visitors, who will be looking to take advantage of a Nuggets team which played Phoenix just last night. Key Trends: - Philadelphia is 18-4 ATS in its last 22 after three consecutive non-conference games. - Denver is just 11-13 ATS in its last 24 after scoring 105 points or more in five straight games. The verdict: This one has upset written all over it. That said, grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - The visitors can score with the best of them. Kentucky’s numbers are slightly better than the Jayhawks, but the visitors come in on top form. Kansas averages 78.1 PPG, while Kentucky averages 80. Expect this one to come down to whichever of these hungry sides has its hands on the ball last. Key Trends: - Kansas is 7-2 ATS in its last nine as an underdog. - Kentucky is just 3-6 ATS in its last nine as a home favorite in the 5.5 to 12 points range. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, grab the points and expect a battle! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Complacency. Who would fault SMU for looking past the lowly Green Wave, who have lost eight straight? The Mustangs though have been scuffling themselves, having lost three of their last four. Too many points here in my opinion given the current form of the favorite. Key Trends: - Tulane is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a road dog in the 12.5 to 18 points range. - SMU is already only 1-5 ATS this year following a conference game. The verdict: No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For BC that is. The Eagles come in off a big 87-82 upset win over No. 11 Florida State on Sunday. Wake on the other hand won’t be taking anything for granted after its humbling 68-45 loss at No. 9 Virginia in its latest action. Key Trends: - BC is already 0-2 ATS this year after a win by six points or less. - Wake Forest is 8-2 ATS in its last ten as a home underdog or pick. The verdict: I believe that home floor advantage will prove to be significant for the Demon Deacons this afternoon! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Letdown spot. For the Rockets that is. They’ve been playing at a very high level for a while now. Correct, James Harden has been playing at an extremely high level for a while now. Harden helped his team come from behind to knock off the Knicks in New York with 61 points. The Raptors come in as the “hungrier” team here after their 114-110 road loss in Indiana. The Raptors are deep defensively and I think Harden finally takes the foot off the gas here. Key Trends: - Toronto is 3-1 ATS in its last four vs. good offensive teams which score 106 plus points per contest. - Houston is just just 7-11 ATS in non-conference games. - The Rockets are only 9-12 ATS this year after playing a road game. The verdict: The Raptors took both games between the clubs last year. This is a bad matchup for Harden. Play on Toronto! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Michigan’s defense. It’s ranked third in the nation, allowing just 57.1 PPG. The Hoosiers’ offense is ranked 163rd in the country, averaging 74.2 PPG. Key Trends: - Indiana is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven following a SU loss. - The Hoosiers are only 2-8 ATS in their last ten vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. - Michigan is 20-8-2 ATS in its last 30 vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600. The verdict: The Hoosiers are having difficulty scoring right now, which spells disaster for the home side in my opinion. After their “close call” at home over the Gophers, look for the Wolverines to lay the hammer down from start to finish in this high-profile blockbuster! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Recent history. This is an important showdown between these clubs. So far the Wolves are 2-1 in the season series. LA won the most recent 114-110 and I believe we’ll see a similar final combined score here as well. Key Trends: - The Wolves have seen the total go under the number in five of eight as a road favorite this year. - Minnesota has seen the total go under the number in ten of its last 13 road games when the total is greater than or equal to 220. The verdict: The Lakers are still without Ball and James and I believe the last thing they’ll want to do is to turn this into a shootout with their hungry visiting side. This number is a little bit high, play the under! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Trap game. For the Thunder that is. The Pelicans are in action on Tuesday night and they won’t have Anthony Davis in the line-up, but I think the Thunder get caught looking ahead to two whole nights off followed by a prime-time matchup on Saturday night at home vs. the East leading Bucks. Key Trends: - New Orleans is 4-1 ATS in its last five as a road dog in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - OKC is already just 3-7 ATS this year as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - The Thunder are just 1-6 ATS after a division game. The verdict: Bank on a much tighter affair than what this spread would suggest! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. While they’ve yet to face each other this year, the Norse took both meetings over the Phoenix last season. Wisconsin Green Bay comes in as the “hungrier” team and it enters with plenty of momentum as well after posting the 90-85 home win over UIC in its most recent action. Key Trends: - Wisconsin Green Bay is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after a win by six points or less. - UNT is just 3-4 ATS this year after scoring 80 points or more. The verdict: I think this one will be much more competitive than what this spread suggests. Grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. I think Hofstra has a letdown and I look for the home side to lay everything on the line tonight as it looks to break a two-game slide. The Pride enter having won 14 straight and I believe a bit of a mental letdown is imminent here. Key Trends: - Hofstra is interestingly just 9-13 ATS in its last 22 games played in the month of January. - James Madison is already 2-0 ATS this year as a home dog in the 6.5 to nine points range. - James Madison is 3-1 ATS in its last four after two or more consecutive losses. The verdict: I think the outright upset isn’t out of the question here. That said, I’ll grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home floor advantage. I think it’s significant here. The Spartans may take this one outright, but I think the home side will cover comfortably at the very least. Both teams average over 80 PPG and the Hawkeyes enter as one of the hottest teams in the nation with five straight wins. Key Trends: - Michigan State is just 6-8 ATS in its last 14 vs. good offensive teams which score 77 plus points per contest. - Iowa is 5-1 ATS in its last six as an underdog. The verdict: I think the home side plays with a chip on its shoulder. Grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation to snap the slide. Denver has lost seven straight in Utah. It’s now or never for Denver, which comes in having won ten of its last 13 games, most recently destroying bottom feeders Chicago and Cleveland by an average of 26 points. The Jazz on the other hand look poised to get “trapped” here after their six-game win streak was snapped in a 109-104 upset loss at home to the Blazers in their most recent action. Key Trends: - Denver is 5-1 ATS this year vs. the division. - The Nuggets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight following a home win by ten points or more. - Utah is just 2-5 ATS vs. the division this season. - The Jazz are just 37-41 ATS in their last 78 in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent which scored 100 points or more. The verdict: The stage is set for the outright upset, but in the end I’m grabbing the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home ice advantage. The Predators have been playing a bit better of late, but they’re still just 13-13 on the road this year. The Knights have been one of the hottest teams in the league over the last month and they’ve used “home ice” to their advantage once again this season, coming in with a 16-8 record in Vegas. Key Trends: - The Golden Knights are 41-15 in their last 56 after scoring two goals or less in their previous contest. - Nashville is just 2-6 in its last eight after allowing two goals or less in its previous game. The verdict: Look for the Predators to take a step back after their road win in Colorado. As Bob Barker would say, the price is right! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. I think this sets up as a letdown, or “trap” game for LSU, which enters having won seven straight. Georgia is the “hungrier” team here after three straight losses (all to difficult teams in Auburn, Kentucky and Florida.) This is my “key angle” for this particular matchup. Key Trends: - Georgia is a near-perfect 6-1 ATS in its last seven after failing to cover in four or five of its last six vs. the spread. - The Bulldogs are 3-0 ATS in their last three after three straight losses vs. conference rivals. - LSU is just 4-5 ATS in its last nine as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - The Tigers are a poor 1-6 ATS in their last seven off a win by ten points or more vs. a conference rival. The verdict: No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Better on the road than at home. That’s indeed the case for the Coyotes, who improved to 13-11 away from friendly confines after their convincing 4-2 win in Toronto most recently. Key Trends: - The Coyotes are 4-1 in their last I’ve after allowing two goals or less in their previous contest. - Ottawa is just 5-11 in its last 16 vs. the Western Conference. The verdict: Sens’ net minder Craig Anderson is just 5-10 with a 2.78 GAA lifetime vs. the Coyotes. Look for Arizona to pull off the slight upset! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Scheduling. It’s a great situationally based reason to take this play at this point of the season. The Kings played and lost badly (123-94) in Brooklyn just last night. I believe this young Western Conference team comes out flat here as well in the second game of the back to back North of the border. Key Trends: - Sacramento is just 6-11 ATS as a road underdog this season. - The Kings are 0-7 ATS in their last seven in the second game of a back-to-back. - The Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine non-conference home games as a favorite in the -9.5 to -12.5 points range. The verdict: I think the Raptors put the foot on the gas from start to finish. Lay the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Natural letdown spot. For Michigan that is. The Wolverines came into the weekend with a perfect 17-0 record and they left with a loss to Wisconsin. I’m not calling for the outright upset, but I do definitely expect that the hungry 14-4 Golden Gophers can keep this one a lot tighter than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe. Key Trends: - Minnesota is 7-2 ATS in its last nine as a conference road dog in the +12.5 to +15.5 points range. - Michigan is just 3-5 ATS in its last eight following a SU loss which preceded an ten games or more unbeaten streak. The verdict: I like the Golden Gophers to sneak in comfortably through the back door down the stretch. Grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Fatigue. The Lakers have been playing a lot better without LeBron James in the line-up, but now the team is also dealing with a major injury to guard Lonzo Ball, who has been stuffing the stat sheet of late. The Lakers have played back-to-back OT contests and I think they come out flat here against the defending champs, who will be looking to send a message and to win their eighth straight in regulation. Key Trends: - Golden State is already 6-3 ATS this year as a road favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - LA is just 9-13 ATS at home. - The Lakers are only 5-6 ATS in their last 11 off a road loss. The verdict: This one has BLOWOUT written all over it. Lay the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. ODU enters off a 78-60 home win over Southern Mississippi, but I think it’ll stumble here vs. the hungry 49ers team, which enters off a convincing 55-40 home victory over LA Tech last time out. While these teams have yet to play this year, last year ODU took both meetings. Revenge is my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - ODU is a terrible 1-8 ATS in its last nine as a road favorite in the 6.5 to 9 points range. - ODU is just 11-19 ATS in its last 30 off a win vs. a conference rival. - Charlotte is already 5-1 ATS vs. the conference. - The 49ers are 5-2 ATS already this season as a home underdog or pick. The verdict: Expect a battle until the final whistle and grab the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Momentum. The Predators have had their issues this year, especially on the road where they’re just 12-13. Nashville averages 3.16 goals in those contests and allows 3.00. Colorado has struggled this year as well, but it averages 3.43 goals at home, while allowing 2.76. The Predators come in off a poor 4-2 home loss to Florida, while the Avs enter off a big 7-1 home win over LA. Key Trends: - Nashville is 11-13 (-10.9 units) vs. teams with losing records this season. - Colorado is 7-2 in its last nine home games after a victory by five or more goals in its latest outing. The verdict: As Bob Barker would say, the price is right! Play on the Avs. |

Ricky's 9* play on the Dallas Mavericks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. The Mavericks have lost three straight and the Bucks have won four straight. i think the home side comes in complacent here and gets caught looking past its lowly non-conference opponent. Key Trends: - Dallas is 24-14 ATS in its last 38 as a road dog in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - Milwaukee is just 7-11 ATS in its last 18 after successfully covering the spread in three or more straight games. The verdict: Look for this one to be much more competitive than what this spread would suggest. Grab the points! |

01-21-19 | Thunder v. Knicks +9 | 127-109 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
Ricky's 8* play on the New York Knicks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Classic letdown spot. After holding on for a 117-115 win at Philadelphia, it’s hard not to imagine the Thunder having a small letdown here vs. their lowly non-conference opponent. Simple as that, this becomes my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - The Thunder are a poor 4-7 ATS in their last 11 as a road favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - OKC is 0-3 ATS already this year off a road win by three points or less. - The Knicks are 8-5 ATS in non-conference games. The verdict: No outright, but the stage is set for a much more competitive battle than what this spread would suggest. Grab the points! |

01-20-19 | Patriots +3 v. Chiefs | Top | 37-31 | Win | 100 | 147 h 50 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the New England Patriots. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Experience and recent history. So far he Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been “phased” by anything this year. The young gunslinger fired 50 TD strikes this season. The Pats’ beat the Chiefs 43-40 at home and I think an upset is in the makings here as well. The experience that New England brings to the table in this situation, combined with the fact they’ve already proven it can beat the Chiefs are my “key angles” to this contest. Key Trends: - The Patriots are still 16-8 ATS their last 24 on the road. - New England is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 after scoring 30 or more points in two straight games. - The Chiefs are just 1-3 ATS in their last four in trying to revenge a very close loss vs. an opponent of three points or less. The verdict: I’m banking on Tom Brady advancing to another Super Bowl! |

01-20-19 | Hornets v. Pacers -7 | Top | 95-120 | Win | 100 | 25 h 19 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Pacers. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Both teams come in tired. The Hornets come in off a satisfying win over Phoenix last night, while The Pacers were at home to Dallas. In the second game of a back-to-back scenario for both sides, clearly it’s going to favor the home side more. That said, the Pacers also play with the added incentive of “revenge” after the Hornets scored the 127-109 home win back on November 21st. This is my “key angle” for this contest. Key Trends: - The Hornets are 16-19 ATS in their last 35 vs. good offensive teams which score 106 plus points per contest. - The Pacers are 7-3 ATS this year revenging a loss where an opponent scored 100 points or more on them. - Indiana is 6-2 ATS in its last eight in revenging a road loss vs. an opponent. The verdict: I think the Hornets take a predictable step back here. Lay the points! |

01-20-19 | Rams v. Saints UNDER 57.5 | Top | 26-23 | Win | 100 | 143 h 16 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the under Rams/Saints. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Improved defensive play from each team. The Rams beat a dangerous Cowboys team 30-22 last week. I’d argue that the LA defense “stole the show” in that one though. The Saints overcame a 14 point hole in the first quarter to edge past the Eagles last weekend. Drew Brees had 301 yards and two TD’s, but after the slow start, it was the Saints’ defense which “brought that one home” for the home side. The Rams will be committed to the run offensively after posting 273 rushing yards in last week’s win. Known for the high-flying offensive play in the regular season, this one has Key Trends: - LA has seen the total go under the number in six of eight on the road already this year. - The Rams have seen the total dip under the number in four of their last five in revenging a loss vs. an opponent of 28 or more points (lost in Week 9 to the Saints.) - New Orleans has seen the total go under the number in nine of 14 as the favorite this year. - The Saints have seen the total go under in four of five already this year after allowing 14 points or less last game. The verdict: While the first matchup between these clubs flew over, this one has all the makings of a lower-scoring defensive battle this time around. Play the under! |

01-20-19 | Illinois +8 v. Iowa | Top | 71-95 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 34 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Illinois. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Trap game. I do indeed believe this sets up as a bit of a “trap” or “look ahead” spot for Iowa, which comes in having won four straight. Illinois finally broke a five game slide with a win over Minnesota last time out and I think it comes in “under the radar” here. Key Trends: - Illinois is 5-2 ATS this year after playing a home game. - The Fighting Illini are 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. good offensive teams which score 77 plus points per contest. - Iowa is already only 2-6 ATS in its last eight as a home favorite or pick. The verdict: I’m not calling for the outright upset, but everything points to a closer than expected WAR! I’m grabbing the points. |

01-19-19 | Sharks +131 v. Lightning | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 21 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the San Jose Sharks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Consistent performance in this spot. San Jose has admittedly been better at home than on the road. That said, it’s still 7-3 (+1.8 units) this season after a loss by two goals or more in its previous contest (lost 6-3 in Arizona.) The Lightning enter off a loss at home to the Leafs and I think they’ll stumble again here. Key Trends: - San Jose is 30-20 in its last 50 when playing on two days rest. - The Sharks are 10-4 in their last 14 following a divisional contest. - TB is just 1-3 in its last four non-conference home games following a home loss. The verdict: A great “spot” to pull the trigger on the hungry Sharks! |

01-19-19 | Suns +7 v. Hornets | Top | 115-135 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 25 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Phoenix Suns. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Obviously this is a very common “angle” that handicappers try to utilize when they can. The Hornets have gotten back on track with a couple of victories, but would anyone fault them for “looking past” their lowly non-conference opponent in some way? The Hornets beat the Suns in Phoenix 119-113 on the road back on January 6th. The Suns have been more competitive of late (lost 111-109 in Toronto most recently), and I think they’ll keep this one close as well. Key Trends: - Phoenix is 3-1 ATS in its last four after two or more straight road losses. - Charlotte is just 12-13 ATS as the favorite this year. - The Hornets are only 3-6 ATS this season after successfully covering the spread in two more straight games. The verdict: No upset, but very competitive. Grab the points! |

01-19-19 | California +18 v. Washington | Top | 52-71 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 17 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on California. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. A “letdown” happens to every team at some point of the season and for the 13-4 Huskies, I think that moment is now. Washington enters having won six straight and I believe it’ll get caught looking past its lowly opponent today. The Bears won’t be rolling over after losing 12 of their last 17 and their last six in a row. Key Trends: - Cal is 3-1 ATS in its last four after allowing 40 points or more in the first half of two straight games. - The Bears are 3-1 ATS in there last four after two straight losses by 15 points or more. - The Huskies are just 16-24 ATS in their last 40 at home. - Washington is only 4-5 ATS in its last nine off a home win vs. a conference rival. The verdict: Grab the points and expect a much more competitive affair than what this spread would suggest! |

01-19-19 | Cincinnati v. Wichita State +4 | 66-55 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
Ricky's 9* play on Wichita State. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home court advantage. I think it’ll be significant here as I believe the Bearcats come into this one “gassed.” Cincinnati has won three straight, but all three AAC match ups so far this year have gone to OT or were decided by two points or less. The Shockers on the other hand broke a four-game losing streak with a convincing 75-67 win over UCF last weekend. This one smells of an upset. Key Trends: - Cincinnati is already 0-3 ATS this year as a road favorite or pick. - The Bearcats are just 1-4 ATS vs. the conference. - Wichita State is still 20-15 ATS in its last 35 at home. - The Shockers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 off a home win vs. a conference rival. The verdict: As stated above, the outright isn’t out of the question obviously, but let’s grab the points! |

01-19-19 | Florida v. Georgia +5 | 62-52 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
Ricky's 8* play on Georgia. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Recent history. Both teams come in off losses. The Gators fell 71-68 on the road to Mississippi State, covering the spread with the points. Georgia returns home to atone for a lacklustre 69-59 loss to Kentucky. A date vs. Florida is just what the doctor ordered for the Bulldogs though, who took both meetings last year. Key Trends: - Florida is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight after a three games losing streak, but having covered on the road in its previous game. - Georgia is 5-1 ATS in its last six home games after failing to score 60 or more points in a SU loss to a conference opponent in its previous outing. The verdict: After losing three of their last four, I look for the Bulldogs to lay everything on the line tonight as they look to break the slide. Play on Georgia! |

01-18-19 | Spurs v. Wolves -1 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 17 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Plain and simple. The Spurs came from behind to knock off the Mavericks in Dallas in their last game, but the Wolves come in humbled after getting destroyed by Jimmy Butler and the 76ers. Minnesota also plays with revenge here from an earlier setback to the Spurs and note that it’s already a perfect 2-0 ATS this season trying to revenge a blowout loss vs. an opponent of 20 points or more. Key Trends: - Minnesota is 14-8 ATS at home this year. - The Wolves are 12-8 ATS in their last 20 as a favorite. - San Antonio is just 10-11 ATS on the road. The verdict: I think the motivational factors, combined with “home floor” turns out to be the difference in this one. Play on the Wolves! |

01-17-19 | Hawaii v. CS-Northridge +1 | Top | 84-79 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 33 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on CS Northridge. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Under the radar. Hawaii is 10-5 and Cal State is 7-10, but don’t be fooled by the records. The Matadors come in on top form, opening conference play with two straight road wins. Now Cal State plays three straight at home. I think the oddsmakers are slow in recognizing how well the home side is playing. Key Trends: - Hawaii is just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a road favorite of six points or less or pick - The Warriors are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 off a home win by ten points or more. - Cal State Northridge is already 5-2 ATS at home this year. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, play on the Matadors! |

01-17-19 | Bulls v. Nuggets -12 | Top | 105-135 | Win | 100 | 27 h 39 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Denver Nuggets. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. The Bulls should seem hungry here, but after eight straight losses, I think Chicago comes in deflated facing its high-powered non-conference opponent. The Nuggets have been scuffling of late and after their recent blowout loss at home to the Warriors, a game in which they allowed the most points ever in a single quarter (allowed 51 points in the first quarter). Key Trends: - Denver is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 at home. - The Bulls are just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. - Chicago is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six vs. the West. The verdict: This one has the makings of a blowout from start to finish. Lay the points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Road warriors. The Leafs are 15-6 on the road and they’ve averaged 4.00 goals and allowed 3.00 in those contests. Two great teams, but I think this is a great spot to the pull the trigger on the hungry Leafs, who enter off a terrible 6-3 home loss to Colorado. Key Trends: - The Leafs are 10-3 (+4.1 units) when playing with two days rest this year. - Toronto is 11-4 (+5.6 units) after allowing four goals or more. - Tampa Bay is just 1-3 in its last four home games following a shutout win. The verdict: Great time to pull the trigger on the hungry/focused Leafs! |

01-16-19 | UCF v. Wichita State +3 | Top | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 29 h 56 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on Wichita State. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Motivation levels. The Knights are clearly the better team this year. UCF comes in having won nine of its last ten. Wichita State though is the “hungrier” team after four straight losses, most recently a blowout loss on the road vs. Houston. The Shockers have faced some stiff competition of late, but they’ll be risking life and limb here to try and pull off the upset. Key Trends: - Central Florida is just 3-5 ATS in its last eight as a road favorite or pick. - The Knights are still just 10-14 ATS in their last 14 on the road. - Wichita State is 3-1 ATS in its last four off a road las vs. a conference rival. The verdict: I’m banking on this one coming down to the wire. Grab the points! |

01-16-19 | Sabres v. Flames -1.5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 30 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Flames on the puck-line. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Home ice advantage. The Sabres have been better this season than last, but they’ve lost three in a row and 15 of their last 21. They enter off a 7-2 loss in Edmonton and now face a Flames team which destroyed the Coyotes 7-1 at home most recently. Calgary has won seven of eight and it’s 15-8 at home, averaging 4.35 goals and allowing 3.26 in those contests. Key Trends: - The Flames are 5-1 in their last six when playing on two days rest. - The Sabres are just 15-36 in their last 51 after allowing seven goals or more on the road vs. a non-conference opponent. The verdict: I don’t foresee Calgary “looking past” this opportunity. In fact, quite the opposite. Lay the 1.5 goals! |

01-16-19 | Spurs v. Mavs -105 | Top | 105-101 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 32 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Dallas Mavericks. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Revenge. Both teams have been playing a lot better of late after an inconsistent start to the 2018/19 season, but each enters off a loss. The Spurs were smoked 108-93 at home to the Hornets, while the Mavericks enter off a 119-114 defeat at home to the now red hot Golden State Warriors. The “revenge” factor comes as my “key angle” for this contest though, as SA has won 12 of the last 14 in the series including a 113-108 OT win at home in the first meeting this season back on October 29th. Key Trends: - The Mavericks are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 at home. - Dallas is 6-2 ATS in its last eight following a SU loss. - The Mavs are 17-10 ATS this season trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. - The Spurs are just 9-11 ATS on the road. The verdict: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Play on Dallas! |

Ricky's 10* play on the Chicago Bulls. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - No LeBron James for the Lakers. The Lakers have won a few times without LBJ in the line-up, but no one will be rolling over facing LA without “The King” in the line-up. Case and point, the Lakers just lost at home outright to the Cavaliers as 10 point favorites, an Eastern Conference team which hadn’t posted a SU victory since mid December. Key Trends: - The Bulls are 7-1 ATS in their last eight after three or more SU road losses. - LA is just 1-4 ATS this year as a home fav in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - The Lakers are a terrible 4-10 ATS in non-conference contests. The verdict: This one has upset written all over it, but in the end I’m still going to grab all these points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Massive offensive surge. The Hurricanes are back in contention for a playoff spot thanks to an offense which has produced 4.00 GPG over its last eight games. Off a 6-3 home win over Nashville, I think the Hurricanes sweep through the Big Apple as well. Key Trends: - Carolina is 8-4 (+2.4 units) this year already after a victory by two goals or more. - New York is just 4-11 (-7.2 units) this season already after a loss by two goals or more in its previous game. The verdict: This one has blowout written all over it. Great line value! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Desperation mode. WVU is 0-4 in Big 12 play after last week’s 85-77 home loss to Oklahoma State. A date on the road at TCU who has lost two straight may provide the opportunity for an outright upset. Regardless, this one has the feel of whichever of these hungry teams has its hands on the ball last, is going to come out on top. I’m grabbing the points. Key Trends: - WVU is 3-1 ATS as an underdog already this year. - The Mountaineers are already 2-0 ATS in true road games this season. - TCU is just 3-5 ATS at home this year. - The Horned Frogs are just 10-13 ATS in their last 23 off a loss vs. a conference rival. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, I’m grabbing the points. |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Scheduling. No need to overthink this one as Portland played and lost in Denver just last night. After that exhausting and disheartening setback, I look for the better rested and hungry Kings to take advantage. Key Trends: - Note that Portland is just 8-11 ATS on the road this year. - The Blazers are are just 8-10 ATS this season after playing a road game. - The Kings are 4-1 ATS as a home favorite this season. - Sacramento is 7-3 ATS this year in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent. The verdict: A perfect situational play. Lay the short points! |

In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. - Momentum. The Northern Colorado Bears had their four-game win streak snapped in a humbling 88-64 Montana Grizzlies this past Saturday, while the Montana State Bobcats enter off a third straight victory, 77-67 over Idaho. I think momentum and home court advantage prove to be the difference in this matchup. Key Trends: - Northern Colorado is just 4-7 ATS in its last 11 after playing two consecutive home games. - Montana State is 3-1 ATS at home already this year. - Montana State is 3-1 ATS in its last four after a win by ten points or more. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, play on the home side! |
